May cause severe eye irritation and corneal damage.
SKIN:
May cause dermatitis. May cause defatting and irritation of the skin.
May be absorbed through the skin.
INGESTION:
Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea and vomiting.
Aspiration of material into lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis
which can be fatal.
INHALATION:
May cause nose or throat irritation. High concentrations may cause
acute central nervous system depression characterized by
drowsiness, headaches, dizziness, nausea, paralysis, and loss of
consciousness.
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS:
High vapor concentrations may cause central nervous system
(CNS) depression with symptoms including light headedness,
giddiness, nausea, drowsiness, headache, nose, throat and
respiratory tract irritation, reduced appetite, confusion and
unconsciousness.
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS:
Damage to the nervous system of the extremities, peripheral
neuropathy, with symptoms including numbness, tingling and
weakness in the toes and fingers, sensory impairment to touch,
pain, vibration and temperature, muscular weakness, blurred
vision, coldness of extremities, loss of body weight and reflexes,
and even paralysis. Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate the
skin and cause a skin rash (dermatitis).

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASRURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYES:
Flush with warm water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention.
SKIN:
Wash with soap and water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a
physician.
INHALATION:
Move victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial
respiration. Seek immediate medical attention.

INGESTION:
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS OR
FIRST AID PROVIDERS:
SDS # 2120
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention and advise the physician
of the nature of the material.
Target organ is the Central Nervous System (CNS)
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or fog.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and aldehydes.
RECOMMENDED FIRE FIGHTING
PROCEDURES:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with pressuredemand, full face piece SCBA and full protective gear.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION
HAZARDS:
Extremely flammable. Vapors may ignite and/or cause flash
fires. No smoking. Eliminate sources of ignition. Avoid fire,
sparks, static electricity and hot surfaces. Liquid readily
evaporates at room/ambient temperature. Vapors are invisible,
flammable, and heavier than air, and may accumulate in low
areas and spread long distances. Distant ignition and
flashback are possible. Likely to catch fire from near-by spark.
Static charge may accumulate by flow or agitation. Grounding
and bonding of containers is required.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
Eliminate all ignition sources (flames, hot surfaces and sources of
electrical, static or frictional sparks). Dike and contain spill with
inert material (e.g. sand, earth). Transfer liquids to covered metal
containers for recovery or disposal, or remove with inert absorbent.
Use only non-sparking tools. Place absorbent diking materials in
covered metal containers for disposal. Prevent contamination of
sewers, streams and groundwater with spilled material or used
absorbent.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store at 60 – 80 °F and
out of the sun and away from ignition sources. Use adequate
ventilation to avoid breathing vapors when cover is removed.
Ground and bond all equipment when handling flammable
solvent borne materials. Shelf life is 1 year from manufacturers
date in an unopened container.
Page 4 of 9
GAF
SDS # 2120
For professional or industrial use only. Follow label instructions.
Keep out of the reach of children. Not for consumption. No
smoking. Do not breathe fumes. Avoid contact with body. Turn
off all pilot lights, flames, stoves, heaters, electric motors,
welding equipment and other sources of ignition. Close all
containers when not in use. Contact lens wearers take
appropriate precautions. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
For spray applications, use only with approved spray equipment.
For flammable products, vapors may cause flash fire or ignite
explosively. To prevent buildup of vapors, use adequate
ventilations (e.g. open all windows and doors to achieve crossventilation). Containers may be hazardous when empty. Never
use welding or cutting torch on or near container. Do not cut,
drill, grind, or expose containers to heat, sparks, static electricity
or other source of ignition.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS /
VENTILATION:
Provide sufficient explosion proof mechanical ventilation to prevent
exceeding recommended exposure limits or build up of explosive
concentrations of vapor in air.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
If personal exposure concentrations cannot be maintained below
the appropriate exposure limits using engineering controls, a
NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor air purifying respirator may
be appropriate based on employer-determined exposure levels. Air
supplied or SCBA respirators may be required when the measured
chemical concentration exceeds the capacity of the air purifying
respirator or when personal exposure levels are unknown.
EYE PROTECTION:
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Wear chemical resistant gloves when handling this product to avoid
prolonged skin contact.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Wear chemical resistant boots when handling this product to avoid
prolonged skin contact.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
Wash exposed skin prior to eating, drinking or smoking and at the
end of each shift. Wash contaminated clothing prior to reuse.
